He Escapes Lynching by tho Vigilance
of Omcers.
LOUISVILLE, April 24.-The brutal assail-
ant of Jennie Bowman, q white domestic,
who was 40 horribly and fatally beaten up
by burglar in broad daylight last
Thursday has been captured. The arrest
was made last night and the guilt of the
man surely established by his own confes-
sion. The police authorities withheld the
news from papers until 10 o'clock this
morning when they had taken the miscreant
who is black negro named Turner, to
Frankfort, fearing he would be lynched here.
Had the details ofthe capture become public
last night the negr would almost certainly
have been hung by the mob before morn
ing, so incensed were the people at the
outrage. It will be remembered that the
man entered house in the fashionable
residence portion of the city between IL
and IL in the morning, having first OBJ
served that all the inmates had left. While
he was ransacking the place a girl returned
and pluckily fought him, giving him several
gashes in the face with a tumbler. The
brute knocked her down, crushing in her
skull with q brass poker and otherwise
dis6guring her, and then made his escape.

CLEvELAND's CANDIDACY.
Colonel Dorsheimer Makes a Statement
Concerning the Matter.


Concerning the Matter.
New YORK, April 25.-Hon. VIM. Dors-
heimer makes the following statement:
In view of the reports that have been
sent out by Washington correspondents OF
some Western newspapers, think it proper
to make the following statement: In jan
uary last the President said to me that he
had been contemplating the making OF a
public declaration which would take him
out of the field as q candidate in 1888.
He said that he was led to this conclusion
not only by personal conclusions, but be-
cause he thought such course would re-
lieve him from the imputations which were
daily cast upon him, and which interfered
wieh his usefulness in the office.
After listening to the Presidents
observations and supposing that he wished
an:expression OF my opinion, l told him
that thought such declaration would be
very unwise and that it would increase his
perplexities rather than lessen them.
also said it was not for him to say whether
he would be candidate for re-electi on or
not. That was matter to be decided by
the Democrats who had honored him great
ly and who had q right to his service if
they desired them. 1 also urged hat no
tradition would be broken by his candidacy
for the second term and that it might be
most important for his party and country
that he should be reelected. After a long
conversation upon this subject the effect of
which was, as Ihave stated, the matter was
dropped and has not since been alluded
to except in a casual manner. l have
never had in my possession a letter from
the President with reference to the second
term, nor have l ever seen such a letter or
draft of one. have not been in Washing
ton since the 4th of this month. If the
President has arrived at the determination
suggested in his conversation with me last
January, don't know it. But, knowing
his character. l am confident that if he
thinks it his duty to decline renomina-
tion, he will make his intentions public in
way which will render a misunderstanding

ST. LOUIS, April PA special from Fort

element OF Kiowas. But few OF this tribe
would listen to him and with their war talk
began depredations on the cattle country.
band of them rode over the tile country
visiting houses and greatly frightened
women and children. They made such a
demonstration about a school at Anva-
darks as to terrorize the children. The
military was notified and Captain Hall
determined to withhold the beef rations
from the Kiowas that had caused the
trouble, but when Friday came, more
leaders came in and it was then determined
TO ARREST THEM.
This becoming known, the Kiowas became
alarmed, and leaving their traps, wagons,
ETC., took their women and children and all
their ponies to q stronghold on Railey
mountain, about forty miles from Anva-
darks. Troops were at once sent in pur-
suit, and went into camp at Wichita. eight
miles from the Indian pusition. They ad
vanced to the base OF the mountains on
the following night. After three days par
ley the Indians agreed to give up the Of
tending members to the soldiers located
near the fort, where thev could be watched.
The troops returned to Anvadarks with the
prisoners.

A Possible Proclamation.

New YORK, April 25.-A Washington

nally recommended.

Propose to Return Soon.
PIERRE, Dak.. April 25.-Deputy Mar
shall Harris has just arrived from Winnie
bago Reservation and says Company E.
camped twelve miles from Big Bend last
night and was to evict the settlers to-day.
The troops are followed by bands of
Indians including a number from the Big
Sioux Reservation who are holding an
all night pow-wow and practicing war
dances. News comes at p. m. that the
Big Bend settlers held a meeting to-day
and resolved to go quietly when the soldiers
came but to return as soon as the troops

the settlers moving away quietly. Much
apprehension is felt that the Indians who

self in a suspicious manner at Metz and
other places on the frontier. A German
officia. who is believed to be an accomplice
of NJ. Schnoebel has been arrested at Metz.
The German government has not ordered
nor could it approve anything contrary to
international law. The statement that
Schnoebel was decoyed into German terri
tory is Untrue.
METZ DISPATCH.
The Berliner Tageblatt publishes a Metz
dispatch in reference to the letter written
by Herr Gautzsch, the German Commits
sary Of Police, inviting Schnobel to con-
fer with him upon the frontier. Herr Gaut-
zsch writes "If you have any communica-
tion to make to me which should be heard
by government officials, or by German
agents. visit ME in my private ROOM"
This was sent in reply to a message from
Schnobe], who had been tampering with
Gautzsch and other German officials. The
feeling in German official circles is that too
much has been made of the incident. Docu
ments relating to the official inquiry will
be forwarded to Paris, provided NJ. SchnO-
bells arrest was legal. Public interest in
the matter is abating. The Bourse did
not share in the agitation.
REPREssIvE MEASURE.
At Paris the market has been fiat to-day.

fourth to one-half per cent. This, however,
was not due to any alarm in connection
with the Schnoebel affair. The fact is
realized that Germany is in no danger OF
war, neither more nor less than at any
time since January. Bismarck is deter
mined to stamp out French conspirators IN
Alsace Lorraine. French sympathizers
must either remain inactive or 60 to
